Kelli, our waitrous was fantastic as usual. However, there was a problem when we went to pick up our wine. At the bar cash register, 2 ladies in front of us proceeded to do a wine tasting AT THE REGISTER, preventing anyone from picking up or purchasing wine. They were on their 3rd glass and after 10 minutes in line, another associate shouted over the counter if we had been helped. The 2 ladies were still doing a tasting and the line at the register was now 10 people deep. The associate behind the register SHOULD have known better and moved them to the bar area for their wine tasting.

Every thing was very good…I wanted a round table for 10 and they could not provide…did not know this in advance. So was a little disappointed in this…no one from Bahama Breeze or Open Table responded that this was not possible…that was disappointing…

This is elevated Latin cuisine that is well prepared and delicious. Every item was excellent, service was helpful and attentive, and it was a energetic environment with a great view

The salad was uninspiring . Of three of us who ordered medium filet all were overdone. Two complained but I didn’t bother. The vegetables were good. None of the desserts on the menu inspired us to order. A gorgeous restaurant but the food wasn’t. Kate who waited on us was lovely. We had expected a special evening but it was all a bit disappointing.

**Ocean Prime Dinner Review – Bar Lounge Experience** Ocean Prime truly delivered an exceptional dining experience in the bar lounge! From start to finish, the evening was a perfect blend of ambiance, service, and culinary excellence. Our group of four opted for a mix of dishes that showcased the restaurant’s range, and each one was an absolute delight. The **Seafood Cobb Salad** was a standout—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Both the **Filet Mignon** and the **Ribeye Steak** were cooked to perfection, tender, and full of rich flavor. The attention to detail in preparation was evident with every bite. The sides were equally impressive, complementing the main dishes without overpowering them. The additional **side salad** was crisp and refreshing, a simple yet elegant accompaniment to our meal. The atmosphere in the bar lounge added to the experience—sophisticated yet relaxed, making it an ideal spot for an upscale yet comfortable evening. The service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing, ensuring we felt well taken care of throughout the night. Ocean Prime is a must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Whether you’re craving expertly prepared seafood, steak, or a mix of both, this spot hits all the right notes. We’ll definitely be back!
